Waterproof

Waterproof up to 4000+ mmH2O – thats against pressure of approximately 4 metres of water. Main seams are tape sealed to prevent leakage through needle holes. When you buy a Backpack Bed, it’s ready to go straight out of the box. Unlike canvas swags that require additional waterproofing and waiting for the canvas to shrink around the needle holes – what a drag!
